Well it finally happened. To make a long story short, when I bought my Z I was informed that it was rust free. Well come to find that was not exactly true. (go figure). Under my battery tray, I'm guessing right at the top of the floor board there was a large chunk of rust. It wasn't bad at first, well it is now. Today in Tucson we had a bit of a downpour. Making my way to school I sadly had to drive the Z through a rather length ankle deep puddle. (by long I mean oh, a eight of a mile or so). Well when I got to school I checked my floor board for moisture. Well come to find, tada its wet. (Oh no:disappoin). When I arrived home I went straight for the rust spot. And come …

Hi all, Because the original shift stick and upholstery was plain ugly on my 260z, I decided to remove the console. I knew the PO had been busy making holes in the center console and ruining the whole thing. When I bought it: http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz51/H3nrY_/Datsun%20260Z/P1000105.jpg Center console and damage... http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz51/H3nrY_/Datsun%20260Z/P1000726.jpg http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz51/H3nrY_/Datsun%20260Z/P1000708.jpg http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz51/H3nrY_/Datsun%20260Z/P1000732.jpg I want to cover up the holes, and make it a bit more attractable so I started my home made botch job Made some nice woo…

BMW seats in a Z 1 2 3

I'm currently trying to figure out how to mount a set of BMW seats in my Z as a relatively inexpensive upgrade. So, I did a Google search that linked to a BMW 2002 forum message thread that started with this message: "From: jeckel30 in SLC Subject: Anyone Use Datsun Seats? I have been looking around for seats that won't break the bank. I have found a pretty good set of Datsun seats from an old 240z. Does anyone have any of these types of seats in their 02? I am not opposed to fabbing up seat mounts, as I just want something that looks good and is comfortable. I have been searching for a while and I am not really wanting to pay exhorbant prices for Recaro's on eba…

These came in yesterday morning, so today i cleaned them up a bit with some Mothers leather cleaner and conditioner. Here's a side by side with the ones that were in the car when i bought it :laugh: .. Needless to say i knew i needed to do somthing about the seats, and i got these on ebay for half of what it would have cost to have the originals re-foamed and covered. They are out of a 2002 BMW 320i. All manual controls, so it will be nice i won't have to rewire anything for them, and the have height adjustment! I'll definitly post pictures of the swap when i put them in :classic:

I have been searching for some photos or a thread that describes the method by which the choke control is attached to the center console in the 73 z. My recent acquisition has the A/C temp control mounted next to the choke lever and the choke control is held in place by a bolt hiding under the A/C control. Its apperant that a PO drilled the hole for the choke bolt and the surroundings are cracking and falling apart. Photos I have been able to find are from above and it sure doesn't look like the mounting involves a bolt from above. There is also a square hole for something, which is where my a/c wires pass through to the control. What belongs there? The A/C control hou…

I finally replaced the seat belts in my 260Z. A few years back I replaced the belts in my 240Z with belts from WESCO. Pleased with doing business with them, I purchased more seat belts from WESCO. This time I went with the Roadster Retractable Seat Belt, WELR-N. It uses the roof and floor mounting points. The hardware kit (a $9.95 option) also includes two 90 degree angle brackets for the bucket seat end. These brackets put the bucket seat end in a good position for use. Installation is so easy that I'm not even going to put pictures up. Frankly, I prefer the roadster style over the 140 inch 3 point belt. It's just something to keep in mind. Z car seat belts are old and m…

Does anyone know a replacement part number for the 5 watt push in map lamp? The service manuels that I have don't give an old number to cross reference it to. Thanks!

Hey y'all! I've been away for a bit. Doing some stuff to my Frontier instead of taking care of my Z like I should. Lately I've been having some issues with the Water Temp/Oil PSI gauge combo... they only work when they want to... gauge light and all. Since I figure it's probably just a bad connection it's time to pull the dash. And since the dash is going to be out I figure I'll go ahead and do the dash crack repair. But maybe since the dash is going to be out now is the time to grab the Auto Meter gauges that I really want in my finished project... or at least figure out which gauges to get and how to install. - I'm thinking Sport Comp or Sport Comp II... but haven…

I am wanting to install a fuel pressure guage in my car. I thought it would be as easy as picking out one on the Summit Racing site, but I guess I need to be schooled first. I have noticed that some guages are for OUTSIDE installation only. I want to install this in the clock slot, so it's going to be inside the car. I would like to see some other installations of a fuel pressure guage including where you tie into under the hood. I will be using this on my SU set-up right now and then on my Mikuni's. I want to verify fuel pressure at all times under load----or is that necessary? I have an aftermarket mechanical pump and I question it's ability to supply enough fuel press…
